He's my favorite of the cast so far. Definitely liking him almost as much as Yuri and Raven from ToV so far. About the same as Malik (who I loved). Actually a little more, since Malik was a bit boring at first (like the entire Graces cast lol).

I lost it with the "Echo" skit.
So generic and overdone, but so funny.

Finished the prologue? I guess you can say, really enjoying this so far. The LO system seems more restrictive especially when compared to the title system from Graces though I still like the idea behind it, later in the game I'll need to read Schala's criticisms of the system with an actual understanding of the mechanics.
Milla's voice acting I get the direction they were heading with it, it's still kind of meh but it's not cringe worthy like the trailers made it out to be. I really enjoy the AC system, feel like it's a good way to segue people used to the traditional tales TP system into using the far superior CC system without CC being a culture shock. Even at this early state I'm already figuring out cool uses of the AC system.
I've only played as Jude so far though I like him far more then any past fist cuffs protagonist *cough*Senel*cough*. Tomorrow I'll play around as Milla, now that she
I feel like I can try her out.

The swamp area right? Yeah, that place has much stronger enemies compared to when you first get there.
Though if you lower the difficulty, it could be a good place to level assuming you can survive the attacks.
No, the voice actor is the same that did Flynn in Vesperia.
By the way I finally got the game today, there's no Limited or Collector's edition in my country so I didn't get anything extra, well except for the costumes for Milla and Jude.
Now I need to get a second controller so I can play it with my brother, but I started playing anyway (couldn't wait).
Ah, knew I heard it in a Tales game before. :lol Thanks.
I don't like Milla's default costume and the closest fix I could get is her maid costume. What is the future costume that going to be released? I hold my money until I can get the best fix. Don't want scamco get too much money from over-priced costumes.
So, is it you (and your team) that do the localization script? That was awesome, especially Awakening. Miriel and Maribelle might one of the best and the most difficult to gain that level of uniqueness.Proper credit for the dub should go to the US producer Ted Tsung (who is awesome and works his ass off for this series). We provided the scripts, but he handled the recording (likewise in TOGf). From what I've seen, people seem to be digging the voices -- can't wait to hear 'em myself!
We love to do voices ourselves when we can, but the opportunity doesn't arise too often because of budgets, the fact that we're over in Tokyo, etc. Last two we did were...I wanna say Nier and Fire Emblem Awakening. If I'm not forgetting anything. (About to do another one soon, so pretty excited about that!)
Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying TOX!
Yours seems to be the opposite opinion of everyone else haha. I love his voice though
Oh and everyone make sure you don't miss the wanted posters in the game. They are hilarious as always

Sounds like Erin Fitzgerald, the same VA who did Chie in P4G.

That's it? I'm not mad at you, but the game. This seems awful, the game so far has been a breeze and now it's nearly impossible (even on easy as I just tried).
That's who I think it is too.
Yep. Same as Ion from TotA too haha. Way better here though.
And GotchaForce, you're not supposed to be in the swamp... That's not where you're meant to go.
Uhm.... I'm not so sure about that. I played it with a breeze before.
Seriously? I like the JAP VA version better.

Apparently I found the first time you can fight way above your level, if you do the main mission (collecting elemental stones) it opens up an easier path.

You're supposed to go to the other exit, the one to the northwest.
That area you're in now is optional, and is a prime spot to grind for materials and XP early on in the game. Hence the enemies are so hard!

The dude/lady right outside that entrance even says basically as much, heh.

Ha, that flood grounds area. I got trolled at that part for a moment until I realized it was the wrong way. It was the first of two areas I came across where you can power level if you're careful.
Does that mean upping the Difficulty doesn't give more EXP?

It boggles my mind, it seems like the lisp was intentional. Her VA's video interview shows her speaking perfectly fine w/o any lisp.

I was wondering if it's because it's like her first major VA. Or that her stuff didn't record too well. But if it's intentional I don't really see why, it sounds fine to me but it would be better without the lisp.

Maybe it's due to bad after recording processing, who knows?
I kinda got used to it in my 3 hours of playtime, it'll annoy me here and there probably but it's not that bad. It's just odd I guess.
Just got Elize. Gonna go to sleep now. I'm really liking the game right now. Overall presentation is much better than Graces. The voice acting is great and all the characters are pretty damn likable. I just need to get a hang of the link system. Currently it feels kinda clunky.
I wish they didn't make Alvin being a traitor so damn obvious. It's not like they're even trying to hide the fact that he'll betray you at some point.

It just disappoints me as the other cast members are well voiced, and the main female protagonist just decides to be the weakest link.
this somewhat reminds me of Tales of the Abyss. I had to force myself to forget Tear is younger than Natalia. She did not sound like 16, but at least she didn't get a lisp that make me question the actual quality of the recordings.
Put about 4 hours in - about to meet Rowen. Overall I'm really enjoying the localization - moreso than when I played the original Japanese version. It's been so long since I've played the game so it feels fresh in a way, despite having beaten Xillia 2 earlier in the year.

The banter between Alvin and Jude, in particular, is fantastic.
The skits are also more interesting then Graces.
Regarding your spoiler:
They might as well just tell you after seeing one of the sub events
Correct, though you may get some more bonus EXP due to larger combos which may occur more often if the enemy has more HP.
Suikoguy
I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Yeah, I can confirm this too.
Game was not designed with that in mind, that it was one of my favorite parts of Graces, and probably why I put so many hours into it.

Of course, but they don't have to basically right out and tell you which character it will be, hehe. See sub event 11.
Probably have him on Manual or Semi-Auto. Go to his Artes menu and set him to Auto.

Okay, so I'm at the beginning, now. Just got out of the
and I'm wondering how I should develop Milla. I'm playing as Jude, where I'm focusing on Str + Vit. Should I do the same for Milla, or does her specialty focus more on Artes and things of that nature?
research lab
Honestly the game is pretty easy you don't have to worry about it too much. I just go for specific skills + artes so you can have a larger movepool.
Jude I'd focus on speed some too, he's fucking fast as hell at higher levels.
